flavor notes explained

milk chocolate - We chose milk chocolate because there was a definite, smooth bitterness that sat comfortably throughout the whole cup.

green apple - There was a touch of malic acidity in the cup that lended itself to a green apple. This bit of acidity is not meant to indicate that the profile is necessarily sour, but rather point to the type of acidity that comes through a bit as the cup cools.

pear - Pear is like an apple, but rounds out that smoothness. The texture of pear is more of what we’re thinking of as we take note; the smooth and sweet nature of pear ties in this note very directly.

about Smallholder Farms

Huila
Located in southwestern Colombia, Huila is nestled in-between the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes, with the middle area called the Magdalena Valley. The variation in elevation results in Huila being one of the country's most unique and complex regions of coffee production. Its terroir, climate, and harvest cycles all contribute to the quality of coffee produced here. The most impressive quality behind the coffees coming out of Huila lies in the people producing them. While Huila accounts for nearly 20% of the country's production, 80% of coffee producers operate on less than three hectares.
